Hello Forum,
my base system from 11.3 with tumbleweed, kde 4.7 updated to latest kernel 3.2.0-2. since then it is running real fast, but no longer provides s2disk, energy control because powerdevil is not provided or not starting.
what went wrong? am I the only one?
cheers

Part of the Tumbleweed process is to keep your repos up to date. The repos changed when 12.1 openSUSE was released. If you didn’t update then, that might be the issue now – but maybe wait and see if someone confirms my idea or has a simpler suggestion.
IIRC the repos also changed for 11.4 with Tumbleweed. With 11.3, Tumbleweed then mainly consisted of kernel upgrades and definitely not KDE upgrades. Thus swerdna must have made the point correctly. The OP may be “the only one” with such a system, but doesn’t list the vital repos or mention how the updates were made, so who can tell “what went wrong”.
Thank you guys for the quick answer!
I have the following repos and do continuous updates with zypper. All worked well as long as Kernel 3.1.4 was active, but since last weekend with the new kernel, power management went away.

What is the URL of that “tumbleweed” repo? What actual zypper command are you using for updating?
Hello,
I use the ‘zypper up’ command for updating the repos and the url of the Tumbleweed repo is:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/
Thank you

Thanks for all the replies, but they confirm that you are not running Tumbleweed because you haven’t performed a distribution upgrade (zypper dup) as required for Tumbleweed, and you are on the wrong base (11.3) for it. Also, it’s not really an 11.3 system, just some hybrid creation from a bunch of disparate repos. 
Sorry, but I am not sure what you expect others can do about that, except advise you to disable all but the standard distribution repos, edit them for 12.1, and run a distribution upgrade. Then you can do the Tumbleweed upgrade according to the Wiki or the Forum’s Howto, later add back those “must have” repos and cautiously update packages step-by-step.
Thank you, consused!
I did the ‘zypper dup’ after first addition of the tumbleweed repos to the original 11.3 installation. have some fear doing all the disabling of the tumbleweed repos and going back to 11.3 and ending up with lots of inconsistencies. If I do a ‘zypper dup’ now, it tells several dependencies are not solved fo some packages. Have to decide whether its making sense for your proposed steps or throwing away this installed version and switching over to one cleanly installed, because I saw some apps not running proberly under the 12.1 based tumbleweed system.
Up to the Kernel update to 3.2.0 I was very happy with the system.

I assumed you probably had done that at the beginning. It is also the recommended way for making the subsequent updates during the lifecycle of each current Tumbleweed. Also when openSUSE releases a new version of the distro e.g. 12.1, you upgrade to that (dup or clean install) without the old Tumbleweed repo (deprecated and destroyed). You can then enable the new Tumpleweed repo and “zypper dup” again when it starts to fill with packages. In the case of 12.1 that happened recently.

I’m not suggesting you go back to 11.3, rather upgrading the base system with all additional repos disabled. So the first step might be to dup from 11.3 to 11.4 with just 11.4’s three repos (oss, non-oss, and update) enabled. When you are happy 11.4 is working, replace those three repos with 12.1 repos and dup again. Once that is working, dup with Tumbleweed repos (perhaps first with Packman as the only addition).
That’s a lot of downloading and finger-crossing, so you should consider going straight from 11.3 to a clean install of 12.1, followed by a Tumbleweed dup, and then step-by-step with the additional repos.
Up to the Kernel update to 3.2.0 I was very happy with the system.
I think you were lucky, and best of luck with whatever way forward you choose.
